Scientists Engineer New Tool to Reprogram Cell Surfaces for Medical Use

Researchers have developed a technique to chemically modify the outer membrane of mesenchymal stromal cells—a cell type widely used in regenerative medicine and cell therapy. The innovation could enable manufacturers to better control how these cells behave in the body, potentially improving the safety and effectiveness of cell-based treatments worth billions annually.
